WMIRS Mobile

Hey Guys,
Does anyone have the URL for WMIRS Mobile.  My phone all of a sudden started using full version of WMIRS which takes a little bit longer to load for releases.

Thanks!

I am not sure there is a seperate URL.  I have noticed that it changes behavior if I change the browser type that my phone is claiming to be.  My blackberry will say its either blackberry or firefox or IE.   I usually have good results with firefox.  Maybe your phones browser type setting was changed or they changed wmirs.  There have been a few updates recently.

Yep, I changed from Dolphin HD to Opera mini.  There should be a unique URL though.

Thanks!

Not necessarily. Some frameworks like .NET will use the browser information to generate different results for the same URL.

interesting, so is there a way to get it to point to the mobile for Opera mini?

[Phil Hirons, Jr.]

That feature would have to be used by the developers.

I have had problems with sites recognizing Opera mini as a mobile browser on my iPhone and only a few are starting to get it right. I'm considering a switch back to Safari for this very reason.

Auto-detect is great and I have been using it, but since mobile browsers deliver such widely different results, it's best to have the option of manually selecting a mobile version too, especially if the phones are presenting themselves as browsers that they are not (such as Blackberry's browser allows you to do).  Mobile development sucks, though.

It sounds like Apple has you exactly where they want you.
